According to a survey from Rasmussen Reports, it was additionally found that 42 percent of likely voters decided that the “recent impeachment proceedings against Trump didn’t make much difference in their opinion of the former president.”
Another 29 percent “of all voters said the impeachment made their opinion of Trump worse, while 28 percent said they have a better opinion of Trump after his second impeachment,” the poll revealed.
Rasmussen, which some have characterized as Republican-leaning, was many times cited by Trump throughout his term in office.
The poll’s findings, however, do echo results from other surveys that found that Republicans currently still view Trump quite favorably.
